The history

In mid-April, Australian Rainforest Conservation Society set up this site to raise funds to purchase a block of pristine rainforest to stop imminent clearing and loss of critical habitat of species underlying the Outstanding Universal Value of the Gondwana Rainforests of Australia World Heritage Area.

In just three days before bidding at auction our amazing friends dug deep and pledged well over half of the $320,000 we needed. That left us needing to raise the remaining $138,000 before 6 July 2016 or lose everything. That fate has now been avoided owing to the generosity of so many people.

The property in question is shown above labelled "264", being at 264 Repeater Station Road, Springbrook, Queensland, Australia. It is a vital part of a critical wildlife corridor.

The Australian Rainforest Conservation Society Inc. (ARCS) is a national not-for-profit, non-government organisation registered as a tax-deductible gift recipient on the Federal Register of Environmental Organisations.

The image below of recent clearing on Springbrook shows what we must avoid at all costs. This type of degradation is no longer acceptable if Australia is to honour its commitment to protecting its precious World Heritage.
